The robot “concept” was clearly established by those many creative historical realizations, such as those recalled above. Nonetheless, the emergence of the “physical” robot had to await the advent of its underlying technologies of mechanics, controls, computers, electronics and sensors ―in one word, mechatronics― during the course of the twentieth century. As always, new designs motivate new research and discoveries which, in turn, lead to enhanced solutions and thus to novel concepts. This virtuous circle over time produced that knowledge and understanding which gave birth to the field of Robotics, properly referred to as the science and technology of robots.
